there was a day about two weeks ago when it came on at the coffee shop, and me and the baristas and several other customers kind of had a five-minute moment, feeling the slow slow burn and buildup. the entirety of the song from start to finish was stuck in my head for about thirty-six hours thereafter.

The narrator is a hospital custodian that has to clean up the placentas, death messes, etc. Guy is exhausted on break, and the placentas and shits are piling up on the beds and floors. He can fEEEeel ihhhiiiiit, and that's why the song sounds so angry.

Live started in the early 1980s under the name "First Aid", as a trio of Taylor, Dahlheimer and Gracey. Kowalczyk joined in 1984, when the group (by then going by "Action Front") lost a talent show. They went through various different names, including "Action Front", "Body Odor Boys", "Paisley Brues" and "Club Fungus", before settling on "Public Affection" in January 1987. Gracey gave the band the name "Public Affection" based on a comment by his girlfriend at the time.
